BJP takes the drivers seat, but must stay the course set by Nitish
With Nitish Kumar stepping down as Chief Minister, Bihar is entering a new political phase that strengthens the role of the Bharatiya Janata Party within the NDA alliance. His exit raises questions over the future of the Nitish model of caste balance and welfare-driven governance, particularly his outreach to women and backward communities. While the BJP-led government under Samrat Choudhary is expected to continue key policies, the JD(U)s influence is likely to shift toward organisational consolidation at the grassroots level amid concerns over preserving Nitish Kumars political legacy.

In many parts of Kashmir today, the landscape is changing faster than the conversation around it. Where paddy once stood through the summer months, rows of apple trees now rise in neat, high-density formations. The shift looks modern, efficient, even hopeful. It promises better income, quicker returns, and a place in a larger market. For the individual farmer, it is an understandable choice. But when a pattern repeats across villages and districts, it stops being a private decision. It becomes a public question. Can a region that eats rice afford to stop growing it? This is not a sentimental concern about tradition. It is a practical concern about survival. Rice is not just another crop in Kashmir; it is the staple that anchors daily life. Apples, on the other hand, are a source of income. One fills the plate. The other fills the pocket. Both matter, but they are not substitutes for each other. The trouble begins when we start behaving as if they are. Over the past decade, apples have emerged as a reliable economic option. High-density plantations, in particular, have changed the scale and speed of returns. Farmers who struggled with the rising costs and uncertain yields of paddy have found a more rewarding alternative. In purely economic terms, the shift makes sense. But agriculture is rarely just about economics. Paddy fields in Kashmir occupy a specific kind of land, low-lying, water-retentive areas that are naturally suited for rice. These are not easily replaceable. When such land is converted into orchards, the change is not seasonal; it is long-term, often permanent. You cannot switch back at will. The soil structure changes, irrigation patterns shift, and the entire ecosystem adjusts to a new rhythm. What disappears in the process is not just a crop, but a system. Rice fields regulate water. They support livestock. They sustain local diets in a way no imported grain ever fully can. When these fields shrink, the region does not stop eating rice, it simply starts depending on someone else to grow it, like the states of UP and Bihar. That dependence may seem harmless when roads are open and markets are stable. But Kashmirs experience has shown, time and again, how fragile such assumptions can be. A disrupted highway, a delayed supply chain, or a sudden price spike can turn dependence into vulnerability overnight. The question, then, is not whether apples are good or bad. Apples are valuable. They have strengthened rural incomes and brought a degree of financial confidence to farming families. The question is whether their expansion should come at the cost of land that ensures basic food security. There is a difference between diversification and replacement. Diversification spreads risk. Replacement concentrates it. If a farmer grows both rice and apples, a bad season in one can be cushioned by the other. But if entire belts shift to orchards, the region becomes exposed on two fronts at once. A poor apple season affects income, while reduced paddy cultivation increases reliance on external food supplies. The risks do not cancel out; they compound. This is where the role of policy becomes crucial. Left entirely to market forces, land will move toward the most profitable use. That is how markets function. But food systems cannot be left to markets alone. Every country that has taken food security seriously has drawn certain lines, quietly, firmly, and without apology. India, too, has done this in different ways. The Green Revolution was not just about increasing production; it was about ensuring that the country would not depend on others for its basic food needs. That logic remains relevant, even if the methods need updating. In regions like Kashmir, this means identifying and protecting what may be called core paddy zones. These are areas where rice cultivation is not just possible, but optimal. Allowing their unchecked conversion may bring short-term gains, but it weakens the long-term stability of the region. Protection does not have to mean prohibition. It can take the form of incentives. If farmers find paddy less profitable, then the answer is not to abandon it, but to make it viable again. Assured procurement, better pricing, and support for modern cultivation methods can change the equation. Farmers respond to signals. Right now, the signal is clear, apples pay, rice does not. That signal can be corrected. At the same time, there is room for balance at the farm level. Not every piece of land needs to be under paddy, and not every farmer needs to avoid horticulture. A mixed approach, where part of the land remains under staples and part under cash crops, offers both security and income. It may not maximize profit in the short run, but it minimizes risk in the long run. There is also a quieter, less discussed aspect to this shift. When agriculture becomes purely income-driven, the relationship between people and land begins to change. Land is no longer seen as a provider of life, but as an asset to be optimized. That mindset is efficient, but it can also be narrow. It overlooks functions that do not show up in immediate earnings, like food security, ecological balance, and community resilience. These functions become visible only when they are lost. Kashmir is not alone in facing this dilemma. Across India, similar shifts are underway. Farmers are moving toward crops that promise better returns, often at the cost of traditional staples. In some places, this has worked well. In others, it has created new dependencies that are only now becoming apparent. What makes Kashmirs case particularly sensitive is its geography. It is not a region where food can move in and out without friction. Weather, terrain, and politics all play a role in shaping supply lines. In such a setting, reducing local food production is not just an economic decision; it is a strategic one. None of this calls for turning back the clock. Progress in agriculture is necessary, and farmers deserve to earn better incomes. But progress does not have to mean imbalance. It is possible to grow apples without losing rice, to earn from markets without surrendering self-reliance. The first step is to recognize that the issue exists. The second is to act before the change becomes irreversible. Because once paddy fields disappear, they do not return easily. And when they are gone, the question will no longer be theoretical. It will be immediate, practical, and unavoidable, If the fields no longer grow rice, what exactly will fill the plate? Obeida Ashraf is a teacher by profession.
